2005 Metala Shiraz Cabernet


A spicy nose, plummy fruit, blackberries, white pepper and dried herbs. Quite a sour palate upon opening with young plums up front and a eucalypt finish. With more time it showed more blackberry and liquorice with a slight green pepper finish.

Showing quite good length of finish for a wine in this price bracket, but a bit raw at the moment and needs another year or two in the bottle.

Rate: 88pts

Price: $14

Alcohol: 14.5%

Drink: 2008-2012
